“The key to failure is trying to please everybody all the time.”

March 12, 2009

This is just like that cliché,

“You cannot please everybody.”

This is so true. Finding gratification from pleasing others is short lived. I have said in my Success is a Team Sport — that others beside your own self are only there to cheer or to boo. What is important is that your entire being is in one with what you want.

Pleasing everybody will only prevent you from achieving your goals because there is simply no pleasing everybody. This is a FACT and finding your gratification this way will only hinder you from proceeding to your journey and getting to your goals.

Confidence and self reliance will help you obscure your need for other people’s approval. Feed your confidence and nurture in keeping your inner self satisfied and content. Once you are confident and content, other people’s opinion and your need for their approval will hardly matter at all.
